    Join me in the club. In the last month I have purchased a SDA-1c, Monitor 10A, Monitor 7, SDA SRS 2. I already have pairs of RT800, RT800i's, two pairs of F/X30i's, LSI center and CS400i. I started years ago with little monitor 4's which I still have. I am not going to mention all of the other speakers I have. My 13yr. old daughter begs me not to get any more speakers. My 9 yr. old son just smiles. I think my son may have the same affliction as I. Can someone help us. We are like moths to a flame with these things. This site is very addictive.
    Polk HT system 1: LSIC, LSI25 mains, LSI F/X rears, Lsi F/X rear centers,

    You're only a speaker **** if you have two or more sets of speakers unused. I only have one pair sitting idle, so I'm no ****. ;)

    Fascinating thread. . .

    in addition to SDA SRS 2's (picking up Sat.), SDA-2B's, and a Sony 5.1 system, I have a Bose 321 Gemstone System in a corner location where nothing else would work. It does a fairly decent job but I guess could never be considered audiophile.

    This may be a stupid question, (and I don't own any so don't ban me), but does anyone serious about music own a pair of old Bose 901's?

    I own a pair of 901 series 6 and two sets of 901 series 4. I have the bose spatial receiver that was built for Series 4 901's. It is a nice receiver. It has a spatial effect that is unique. I am sure I am in the minority when I say the bose 901's are not a bad speaker. I think you have to work with them and have the right room for them. They are not for everyone but in the right conditions can be a very good speaker. Of all the speakers I have my monitor 10A's and SDA-1c are my favorite at this point. I recently bought SDA SRS 2's and am just beginning to explore there potential. At the end of the day they may be my favorites.

    My brother-in-law bought a pair in the late seventies. He was an officer in the Air Force and always bought a brand new double-wide located just off base to build equity upon each new assignement. He'd then sell it to an incoming officer (for a profit) when he transferred out.

    The point is, he always had about a 28' wide by maybe 22' deep open area in these homes that made the 901's sound good.

    He's retiring now and wants me to have them. I think the addition of these to my collecton might qualify me as a speaker ho.
